tick

lq.tick(value, label=none, sub=false, stroke=auto, shorten-sub=0.5, align=right, pad=0.5em, inset=4pt, outset=0pt)

A tick or subtick on a diagram axis. A tick consists of a tick mark on the axis and a tick label, usually a number denoting the coordinate value.

Parameters

value : float​

Position of the tick in data coordinates.

label : any    default: none​

The content for the tick label.

sub : bool    default: false​

Whether this is a subtick.

stroke : auto | stroke    default: auto​

How to stroke the tick mark. If set to auto, the stroke is inherited the axis spine.

shorten-sub : float    default: 0.5​

How much to shorten sub ticks compared to regular ticks.

align : left | top | right | bottom    default: right​

Where to align the tick. For example, if set to right, the tick label is shown to the left of the tick, aligning at its right side. Ticks on a yy-axis on the left side of the diagram will typically be aligned on the right.

pad : length    default: 0.5em​

The padding to add between the tick and the tick label.

inset : length    default: 4pt​

The length of the tick on the inside of the axis. Here, the tick label is considered to be on the outside. For example, if tick.align is set to right, the inset determines the tick length to the right of the axis spine.

outset : length    default: 0pt​

Length of the tick on the outside of the axis, see tick.inset. For example, if tick.align is set to right, the inset determines the tick length to the left of the axis spine.
